Manage Licenses
editManage Licenses
editThe use of Elastic Cloud Enterprise requires a valid license, which you can obtain from Elastic and add to your installation. These steps are not required initially to use trial versions of ECE for the duration of the trial. The trial license is valid for 30 days.
Full ECE licenses that you obtain from Elastic enable the same products, features, and support that are available to Platinum subscriptions on Elastic Cloud.
When the full ECE license for your cluster expires, Elastic automatically renews the license. Elastic automatically renews the ECE license for the lifetime of your cluster.
